So crazy thought here, but will there be a time skip in the cards with the latest plot point?

As building and setting up a new branch of gov and finding and training up enough parahumans to man it will be a rather lengthy process and the real meat of things would kick off after all that set up is done.

So would side stepping that be possible or would we just increase the time each turn takes up?

I don't I rather like the idea of us building up the first Parahuman Organization personally and is something I want to see us do. I guess it all depends on what Speaker has planned I do agree there should be a time skip of some sort just not this soon into the quest in my opinion.

@Speaker4thesilent I just realised, Margaret Thatcher isn't actually a baroness yet, she will get it after leaving the House of Commons and joining the House of Lords (gaining her Life Peerage in 1992).

Uh, really?
Well, it could be passed off as a narration quirk, after all, Shirou is technically from the future and know her as a baroness.

Disqualifying offices

Certain post-holders are disqualified from becoming a 1.5Member of Parliament. These include:
• civil servants
• members of police forces
• members of the armed forces
• government-nominated directors of commercial companies
• judges
• members of the legislature of any country or territory outside the Commonwealth
• peers who sit and can vote in the House of Lords
• bishops of the Church of England (known as the Lords Spiritual) who are entitled to sit and vote in the House of Lords

Technically a Prime Minister can be a member of the house of lords but this hasn't happened for a long time and they wouldn't have a position in the commons

Having a Life Peerage means you can sit and vote in the house of lords

Life peer - Wikipedia (mentions when she got her peerage)
It isn't rare that Prime Ministers will get a Life Peerage when they leave office (although not all get the offer and some refuse)

Basically, one of the major aspects of our civil war was to prevent the royal family and members of the house of lords from overly influencing the house of commons... basically the house of common's job is to represent the common people

There are ways to resign from titles but that is rare.

Huh. I think I'll leave 'Baroness' out of future updates, then. But I'm not going back and editing them all out.

Guys, I'm a bit worried here as I think we'll also need to develop some Master/Stranger protocols to make sure that our budding organization wouldn't be used as a way to slither into the British government and subvert it from the inside. With Thatcher mentioning the number of possible crimes being committed with parahuman powers, it's only a matter of time before someone gets the idea to organize and strike.

Would Shirou's magecraft and experience from the Millenium empire do enough of a good job to cover both regular people and parahumans?

It's just something I'd like to discuss as I've got no concrete plans on this aspect of security.

That’s definitely one of the biggest risk, Shirou probably has experience dealing with Master/Stranger type of power, Hypnosis is a thing in the Nasuverse afterall, and he probably ran into weird enough magecraft that it could count as stranger power, but even with that, there is no fullproof defence to be had, and we will probably need constant vigilance once we understand just how much master/stranger power can do.

We might be able to craft magic stuff to give some defences to high ranking official?

Plus, some of the BS from the SM is actually worse than hypnosis from Nasu-verse which is generally self focused, but could be a Stranger effect. Possession is probably the closest for a Master effect Shirou has dealt with. For internal security there is no better prep than "a monster just appeared in the hall from literally nowhere."

If we're looking to set up anything to counter the terrorist tinker, masters, & strangers in general we should talk to the gym tinker and see if he wants to join. Wasn't he worried about getting a steady income or such? Also, while I doubt he had anything to do with the attack we should verify before recruiting him.

Hmm a thought occurs to me would the Commonwealth Realms ask the UK and be extension Saber an Shiro to consult on their own agency’s and national hero groups as well as the EU since they have show themselves to be both effective and know what they are about as both commanders, investigators and Hero’s.

I can see that happening a few years down the line since Britain is getting a head start with Parahuman Affairs thanks to Saber And Shirou if we are successful in this en devour and I feel we will be other nations will start copying our model and asking for us to consult with them.

Heh we beat the Alexandria, Eidolon, Hero and legend to the punch as well as the plot device and the bathtub alchemist good to know they will have some healthy competition with people who have working brains and aren't mired in their brand of bullshit.

That's just a bonuses really at this point, hopefully with us being around so soon we can give a better example to people to use there powers for good and not for criminal acts.

Yep and the fact we will get an institution set up to actually deal with powers and help people understand them, in the long run, will do wonders to keep the world somewhat stable and safe. Also more people who actually want to be hero's will be a big help in the long run in preventing the world from going to pot.

Also hey if the USA passes NEPA-5 or whatever it was called a lot of the people who would have formed the Elite will probably come over to the UK if we foster an environment of understanding on what the hell a cape is.
